Wooler Golf Club

Well looked after 9 holes with 18 tee positions course, wonderful views and friendly staff, i will be playing this course again as it is a good test. I just wish I lived in Wooler so I could be a member

Great weather today on a tough course close to Cheviot Hills - fabulous views - amazing greens considering location

Absolutely amazing 9 hole course. Only con was the savage wind but that can't be changed, you've just got to play to the conditions. The course is well kept and the staff are very friendly. Overall, a really nice golf course

The course was in immaculate condition fro tee box to green, with robotic mowers trimming the fairways. No bunkers but it is on a hill, so take your time or get a buggy. The views are fantastic. Chatted to the head groundskeeper before and on the course, friendly bloke and hats off for the condition of the course.

Hilly beyond belief. Tough. Sensational views. Greens the nearest you’ll ever get to playing Augusta. Has improved immensely over the past few years. Bring your own food and drink. Did I mention the views? Unbelievable.

What a great little course. High up on a hill overlooking the Cheviot Hills. You can play 18 by using the different Tee boxes for the 2nd 9.

The fairways and greens are in great condition and a credit to the limited green keeping staff.

The club house isn't open all the time especially during the week.

I hugely enjoyed my round and will return next time the opportunity arises.

Prior to playing at wooler , all other courses we're closed due to all the rain we had , I mailed wooler and they said there was going to do an inspection and would let me know , I did get a mail to say it was open and ok , apart from one hole which was wet , the course was in good condition, I would go back and recommend to others , good day for golf .

Stunning views combined with a nice level of challenge.

Greens were in perfect condition even after some rough weather. All holes have different tee boxes but only playing to 9 greens In my short exoerience the 9th/18th fairway must have a resident golf ball eating monster!!

The lovely club secretary pat was so helpful,unbelievable views will definitely play again if in the area a one to try folks

Thanks pat ⛳️

I got a great deal via Golf Now to play this course and I was not disappointed. The views are sensational and the course is in good condition. The staff clearly do a great job. I didn’t stay to have a drink in the clubhouse and so my only comment would be that some slightly better signage and indication of offers on drinks (for example) may have enticed me to stay afterwards rather than go to another local amenity for post round refreshments. I will definitely be back!

Wooler Golf Course – A Hidden Gem in the Hills

Arrival:

Wooler Golf Course is easy to locate using Google Maps. The final approach takes you up a steady, steep hill that leads directly to the car park and clubhouse. On arrival, there wasn’t anyone immediately available to speak with, but shortly after, a friendly member arrived and was soon followed by a welcoming lady from the clubhouse. Both were incredibly helpful. I explained that I had booked online, collected my match card, and was ready to get started.

The Course:

This is a 9-hole course with 18 different tee boxes to give it that full-round variety. Once I had my bag on the manual power trolley, I made my way to the first tee and quickly realised the theme of the day—elevation. The course winds its way up and down the hillside, and by the end, I felt like a mountain goat. A bit of puffing and panting later, I definitely found myself wishing I’d spent the extra £20 on a buggy!

That said, the effort was worth it. The views from the top were absolutely stunning: The Cheviot Hills to one side, Scotland stretching out to the north, and the glint of the North Sea to the east. I took a well-earned break with my sandwiches on the 7th tee, soaking in the scenery.

Course Condition:

This is probably where the course is currently struggling, but through no real fault of its own. After weeks without rain and constant sunshine, the fairways and greens are parched. The greens, in particular, were scorched and rock hard, and while it’s clear that maintenance work has been done, the weather simply hasn’t played ball. The grounds team are clearly fighting against nature right now.

Clubhouse:

Unfortunately, the clubhouse was closed during my visit, which was a bit of a letdown—I was definitely ready for a cold pint by the halfway point. However, if it had been open, there’s a small decked area overlooking the 9th/18th green that would have been a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

Prices:

Membership: Around £375 per year (as overheard)

Pay and Play (Online): £15 for 9 holes / £20 for 18 holes

Buggy Hire: £15 for members / £20 for guests

Overall:

I’ll definitely be going back—but next time I’m hiring a buggy and hoping the clubhouse is open for a well-earned drink at the end! The course has real charm, and the views were awesome.

Great course off the beaten track, The greens can be challenging but the fairways well cut and wide. It is a quite up and down terrain so you need to be fit.

The greens are in excellent condition especially considering the time of year. The course is best suited to a mountain goat!..... It's very steep. Good for an aerobic workout, hard on 60 year old knees!

This was my second time playing Wooler, but a first for my two friends. We were all blown away by the fantastic setting and condition of this amazing course. As I understand it, Wooler does not benefit from a large membership but the condition was far superior to many courses that do. The greens were pretty much as good as any we've played this year and the fairways were immaculate too. The views are truly incredible, as good as it gets. The staff were very warm and welcoming too. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful views, friendly people and a lovely course. Amazing value for money, makes a refreshing change to not be ripped off for a round of golf. Some of the tee shots are amazing.
